The many tributes to the recent retirement of the Concorde SST have been quite moving over the past few weeks. The following file is a 2 minute movie produced by British Airways in 1998; This is one of the most moving films I've ever seen- The impression one takes away is that the supersonic craft,...

An excellent reminder that there really are good reasons to do a thorough preflight and to make sure the controls are free. This happened just north of Winnipeg, and the aircraft was the first version with PT-6-67 Turboprops. The Canadian DOT concluded that the control locks were still locked when...

I've been asked to investigate, on behalf of some applicants to my flying club, the procedure to take a non-US pilot certificate to a US one.
